We had a loving gentle Malamute named Keana (Kee-ahna) that may have looked fierce in the backyard, but never barked and only wanted a pet on the head. Not a great theft deterent. But one winter we had a bunch of ice and I had gone out to fill the bird feeder when I slipped and fell on the icy deck. It was so slick I could not stand up. I called Keana over and she came over, let me take hold of her collar and she pulled me back over to the door!!!! She was the greatest!

We can’t have kitties because of bad cat allergies in our family. Our crazy Havanese boy (small dog), in his younger days did some weird stuff. He once in a while would magically ascend to the kitchen counter top, if there was something there he thought he wanted. Once he got up there and ate whatever it was he was after, he would cry & howl until somebody would come rescue him, because he could not figure out how to get down! And we lost count a long time ago of the number of Mac laptop power adapters that he destroyed, while they were plugged in. He was either smart enough, or lucky enough, to always chew on the low voltage wire, instead of the high one, so he was never injured in those ventures, but he did cost us an arm & a leg in replacement costs; he also chewed through a number of Ethernet cables, sigh! It’s a good thing for him he is such a cutie & a sweetie!

We once had a cat that would get lost in the basement, every time she went down there with someone. She would wander off from us and then not be able to figure out how to find teh stairs to get back up. We would hear her crying and have to go down to rescue her from just around the corner of the staircase. This “issue” lasted her whole life.

So funny, I just cast on some March Mosaic socks last week too! It’s in a really pretty teal & royal blue yarn, my friend is calling it my 8-bit waterfall socks.

We brought home two cats from the SPCA in the summer before I started eighth grade. My sister’s cat was smart but a bit neurotic; mine, on the other hand, was sweet and dumb. We describe her as “prepositionally challenged” in that she can’t seem to distinguish the difference between “in the litterbox,” “by the litterbox,” “in front of the litterbox,” and “behind the litterbox.” She also spends long hours staring into the AC/Heat return panel by the stairs. We have no idea what she sees in there, but I always assumed it was invisible dust bunnies.

[...] Cat and Dog comments cracked me up on Wednesday’s blog! Did you all read some of those? Like Diane’s cat who walked off the end of the dresser while [...]

Our dear departed Laoh (pronounced Lay-O) was our silly kitty. An adorable adopted Berman, she was horribly cross-eyed, but that didn’t keep her from trying to catch whatever she saw. Her two most memorable were the time she saw my husband taking a cooked (left-over) turkey from the oven and had to leap at it and attack. Well, she got it okay … the turkey flew across the kitchen with the cat attached. So much for us having leftover turkey for dinner! She would also spot doves sitting on a tree stump in the back yard, and although she was sure they’d never spot her as she crept across the yard, the fact that her bottom would wiggle & the tail stick straight up usually gave her away and she’d charge for them, only to discover they were gone by the time she’d reach the stump. In order to save her dignity, she’d pretend that she only was running there in order to scratch the stump, and not because we were laughing at her. She was definitely one funny cat!

I had to try the cat toy app. My 4 (yes 4) cats showed very little interest. I really had to try to get them interested in it. My big dumb dog however…I have to go clean the big slimy dog nose prints off my phone. She really wanted to find that squeaking mouse!

Love the sock. I love those slip-stitch patterns, too. They are always a surprise they way they bring out the colors. I just finished my first sock of Wollmeise Igor in a Wendy Johnson lace pattern and the colors are spiralling up the leg. I’m so excited because it looks so neat! I’ve only gotten halfway up the foot of the other one, but I can’t wait until they’re finished and I can wear them.

I have cairn terriers. I liken them to gifted 2-year olds, so they don’t qualify for the ‘not so smart’ category, but they can be awfully sweet when they want to be. And this week we whelped a litter of 6 puppies. They are really, really sweet (and kissable)!

I so need to check that out. Yes, I have a boy that is more sweet than smart. Actually, he just plain dumb – but he does it with such child like abandon that you can’t help but love him all the more for it. He’s a Ragdoll so he flops over when you pet him, which causes all sorts of strange somersaulting, butt in the air antics.
